ManCat Monday

Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this by all the time they spend on personal grooming. Dogs aren't like this. A dog's idea of personal grooming is to roll in a dead fish. - James Gorman

I don't know if I am a nar-cis-cist, whatever that means. But I do know I need to wash my face, lick my paw, rub it across my ears, eyes and nose. Rinse and repeat, over and over.

About my porch. Mum got it at Target. It is actually a collapsible portable kennel for woofies, so go and look in the woofie section. Its a Boot & Barkley thing. She got it last summer.

  12. Happy Monday, Derby. Having a bath and face-licking is very manly. Rolling in fish (like a d.o.g.) is NOT manly. hehehe
    I like your porch, and I hope my mammacat gets on for me too!

    purrs,
